As the corporate-owned news continues airing the racist and xenophobic rhetoric defining the 2016 presidential cycle, it’s missing the big news of oppressed communities fighting to hold corporations and their elected officials accountable for systemic injustice and corruption.

In February, Washington State’s Agricultural Industries were in the spotlight for a People's Tribunal documenting and exposing systemic violations of state laws, civil rights, labor rights, and human rights against farmworkers. Find out what we learned from the Farmworker Tribunal and its intersections with issues of immigration policy and private prisons in this week’s episode featuring Latino Advocacy, LLC founder Maru Mora-Villalpando, who served as the Human Rights Judge for this tribunal.

Move to Amend Reports is hosted by Laura Bonham and Egberto Willies, members of Move to Amend's National Leadership Team. Executive producer is Keyan Bliss. Production team is Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, Keyan Bliss, Laura Bonham, Egberto Willies, and Renee Babcock.

Move to Amend is a coalition of hundreds of organizations and hundreds of thousands of individuals committed to social and economic justice, ending corporate rule, and building a vibrant democracy that is genuinely accountable to the people, not corporate interests. We call for an amendment to the US Constitution to unequivocally state that inalienable rights belong to human beings only, and that money is not a form of protected free speech under the First Amendment and can be regulated in political campaigns.
